After selecting Sync, Intune initiates an on-demand synchronization across multiple workloads to help ensure the device reflects the latest admin intent as quickly as possible. This process includes, but isn't limited to:

Configuration policy processing
App detection and deployment state updates
Script and remediation processing
Other device management signals required to align device state with current assignments

You can track the progress of the sync action by selecting the Device sync status tab in the device overview pane.
